Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I tried to send print jobs to OKIDATA office44 through parallel port but only to fail. Later on I figured out that this printer was a multifunction machine(supporting fax, scanning, and printing) so I could NOT send print jobs to printer using lpr to parallel port directly. There is a MFPI(Multi Function Peripheral Interface) driver between the Host and the MFP. Also the MFPI driver communicate to MFP using Bi-Centro I/F. But the current MFPI driver only support Window 95. There was NO Unix MFPI driver so far. I plan to implement MFPI driver on FreeBSD. And I need the following helps: 1, How did MFPI driver read/write the parallel port before lpr can start the burst data transfer? 2, where can I find more information about parallel port driver? Also I would like to ask if anybody had any experiences before to attach such printers to FreeBSD? Your quick response will be appreiated /Randy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
